Anderson Mikos Architects

What Anderson Mikos Architects does

Anderson Mikos Architects, ltd. is a privately held architecture and design firm founded in 1985 and headquartered in Oak Brook, Illinois, specializing exclusively in healthcare facility planning, architecture, and interior design. The firm serves hospitals, health systems, children's hospitals, academic medical centers, community hospitals, and community health centers, with a portfolio of more than 300 projects spanning Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Virginia. Its core technology stack is built around CADD modeling and rendering, 3D design visualization, and LEED-certified sustainable design workflows, delivered under a registered trademarked methodology called "Architecture Through Listening®." The firm offers three core service lines (Architecture, Planning, and Interior Design) plus project categories such as emergency departments, NICUs, cancer treatment centers, ambulatory surgery centers, integrative medicine suites, and inpatient pavilions, with project sizes ranging from a 1,000-square-foot iMRI suite to a 1.25-million-square-foot children's hospital.

The firm operates a project-based professional services model, generating revenue from negotiated fees on individual architectural and design engagements with healthcare organizations. Go-to-market is enterprise, relationship-driven direct sales: the firm engages hospital leadership, health system administrators, and facility operators, often through RFPs, and relies on its project portfolio, client testimonials, and repeat engagements with major regional health systems (Lurie Children's, Rush Copley, Northwestern Medicine, Advocate Health Care, UChicago Medicine, Loyola, AMITA). The firm holds USGBC and Lean Construction Institute memberships, employs LEED-credentialed staff, and won a 2017 AIA Healthcare Design Award. Ownership is concentrated among founding principals, led by CEO/Chairman David E. Mikos; no external funding, acquisitions, or parent company relationships are disclosed.
